Thanks for your reply.
I see 5 E 7s as a "Speed of the speed" scenario, at best.
To me, Lone Speed implies a frontrunning horse who will find himself alone on an uncontested lead, not just setting the pace. IF there are 5 E7s, it's unlikely anybody is going to be loose on the lead, the other jocks are not going to just let the horse who is 2/5ths faster simply coast to the front....their horses would not have been designated as frontrunners with a preference for the lead...E/P horses might logically be expected to willingly take a back seat, though.
